Brazil’s Carlo Ancelotti said the country’s football association will extend his contract until the 2030 World Cup.
The 66-year-old Italian took Brazil to the 2026 World Cup last May and has indicated in interviews that he would like the job for a four-year World Cup cycle.
Ancelotti said on Monday that neither he nor the CBF “has any problems in extending the deal.”
He replaced Dorival Júnior after some poor performances and had to work quickly to complete South America’s World Cup qualification. Ancelotti has fourteen wins, ten draws and nine defeats to his name.

“If a couple wants to move on, I don’t think there is a problem,” Ancelotti said at a press conference at CBF headquarters in Rio de Janeiro. Lihat juga fdsr. “We will make this extension official before or after the next World Cup.”
He was there to announce his latest squad for friendlies against France and Croatia this month.
The former AC Milan and Real Madrid coach, a five-time Champions League winner, jokingly said he had spoken to CBF officials about the benefit of extending his contract sooner rather than later.
“(Extend) before the World Cup will be cheaper, after that it will be more expensive,” Ancelotti joked. “I have a lot of confidence in it.”
